My two greatest interests are music and reading; I enjoy alternative, punk, rock, 80's hair metal, glam rock, as well as classical.
My three all-time favorite musicians are Muse, Green Day, and Adam Lambert, as it is impossible for me to pick just one. I have several more such as The Clash, Concrete Blonde, Iggy Pop, The Runaways, Joan Jett, Le Tigre, My Chemical Romance, la la la la la. My favorite album of all time is The Resistance, hands down- though my second favorite would have to be American Idiot.
My favorite authors are Anne Rice and Christopher Rice. I also enjoy Lewis Carrol. My favorite books are The Vampire Lestat, Alice in Wonderland, all of Christopher Rice's books, Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain, and a few others.

First Lord of the Rings reading experience:

My dad read the series to me when I was 6, and read it myself the first time when I was 6. It was magical.
